Explanation
★Correct matching: Machiavelli with moral indifference, Hobbes with the instinct of self-preservation, Locke with the natural right to property, and Rousseau with the revolt against reason, so the answer is I-b, II-c, III-d, IV-a.
★Machiavelli sets morality aside in politics, judging the prince's acts by results rather than by virtue.
★Hobbes builds his Leviathan on the fear of death and the drive for self-preservation in the state of nature.
★Locke makes life, liberty, and property the natural rights that government exists to protect.
★Rousseau exalts feeling and the general will over cold reason, famously declaring man is born free yet everywhere in chains.
★These four mark the rise of modern thought, from Machiavelli's realism through the social contract of Hobbes and Locke to Rousseau's romanticism.
